Trinidad wasnt the most exciting wee place, it has to be said. We stayed 2 nights then took the hell-bus to rurre yesterday.
In fact the most exciting thing that happened in Trini was going to the barber for a shave. I had ammased quite a lot of hair after a week on the river, and was intending to go clean. Per chance there was a poster on his mirror of some Hollywood prettyboy with an interesting trim, so i asked if he could mirror it.
Tosay he took to the challenge was an understatement... one and a half hours later the perfectionist had done a great job. I will add the photos in a few days.
As for the bus ride... we were supposeded to leave at 10am...which got pushed out till midday. It was supposed to take 10 hours...which somehow extended to 15. Getting into Rurre at 3am we were pretty shagged.The bus was more like an overland truck, with big offroad tyres, and high ground clearance. It was needed too. Full on dirt road. Had to cross three rivers on tiny barges too. Again i will post photos when we leave rurr cos..
Its 12 bols/hr for internet here!!!! For a wee town developing into a mini Kathmandu or Ko Phan Ang I was shocked! Everywhere else we have paid 2-3 bols!
So on that note.... I will go.
The plan is now: off into the local pampas for 3 days to check ot aligators and anachondas etc tomorrw. Then going to fly (yes really) up to La Paz... no mosquitos and cheap internet..
cool
